Data Encryption Systems boosts channel

Data Encryption Systems (DES) has appointed Sigma Software as a distribution partner. UK-based DES offers software copyright protection, data encryption, secure massaging and data storage solutions. The vendor’s DESlock+ product will now be available through Sigma.

DESlock+ helps organisations to protect against all types of data breach by offering encryption of documents, folders, disks and removable storage media, and computer systems. DES has opted to sell DESlock+ through Sigma to boost channel awareness of the solution.

David Tomlinson, managing director at DES, said: “DES is a British company designing and manufacturing an encryption product that is industry proven to the highest standards. We want to make sure that every UK business can easily source DESlock+ and joining forces with Sigma is a fantastic way of showcasing what we offer.”

“Sigma will open doors for our product that we haven’t previously been exposed to. We see great value in the marketing they will use to bring our solution to its resellers,” he added.

Juliet Collis, managing director at Sigma, added: “Sigma is delighted to be partnering with DES, one of the leading encryption specialists in the UK, as distributor across the reseller channel.”

“Sigma is seeing considerable demand for computer security devices as all organisations, both in the public and private sectors, become increasingly aware of their obligations and responsibilities in protecting both their own commercially sensitive data and other confidential data held within their networks,” Collis added.

Privately-owned Sigma operates as a VAD of specialist technical, development and business software with customers across the breadth of the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. Sigma maintains trusted relationships with more than 2,000 software publishers from around the globe and claims to offers its resellers a wide product range, competitive pricing, efficient software sourcing and a company ethos based on great service.
